In the beginning … April 9, 2008

In the Beginning was the Plan.
And then came the assumptions.
And the assumptions were without form, and darkness was upon the faces of the workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying, “”This is a crock and it stinketh!”
And the workers went to their supervisors and said,
“It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odour thereof.”
And the supervisors went to their Managers and said unto them:
“It is a container of Excrement and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it.”
And the Managers went to their Director and said,
“It is a Vessel of Fertilizer, and none may abide its strength.”
And the Directors spoke among themselves saying,
“It contains that which aids Plant Growth and it is very strong.”
And the Directors went to the Vice-Presidents saying,
“It promotes Growth and it is very powerful.”
And the Vice-Presidents went unto the CEO and said unto him,
“This new Plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of this company, and in these areas in particular.
So the CEO looked upon the plan, and saw that it was good, and so the plan became policy.

This, friends, is how shit happens…
